Summary:"Market quality" is a complex, ambiguous term that means different things to different people. How should it be defined, measured, monitored, and improved? What is the evidence about the current state of our markets? How effective have recent innovations been? How can we better meet investor needs?

Throughout, particular attention is given to the perspective of front line participants on the buy-side and sell-side trading desks.
